Bump Date: 17 Weeks

  Hello!  I thought I should resurrect the blog since, for some reason, all my family and most of my friends don't live anywhere close to us.  The plan is to update weekly with a bump picture, but we shall see if life gets in the way of that :)

So far this pregnancy has been amazing!  I have not been sick one bit, which I am so so so thankful for.  My energy levels haven't been too low either, though I have yet to experience that "burst of energy" that my workout video keeps talking about.

So without further ado...Bump Date #1: 17 weeks

How far along: 17 Weeks

Gender: It's a mystery, and I'm hoping it will stay that way!

Weight gain: About 2 pounds, though it definitely looks like more.  I think it's because I've been working out pretty consistently, so things are just shifting around a bit.

Maternity clothes: As of this weekend I'm currently mixing some maternity pants with my regular shirts.  And I'm trying out the Bellaband, so far it's worked, but it's only been one day...

Stretch marks: Nope

Belly button in or out: In

Sleep: Sleeping really well.  I typically get up once in the night if I drank a bunch of water before bed.

Best moment this week: Registering for baby gear yesterday, which was super overwhelming, but definitely fun.

Worst moment this week: Not sure that I had one, maybe putting on my jeans and realizing they made me look fat instead of pregnant.

Miss anything: Not yet, this pregnancy has been super nice on me so far.

Movement: Not yet, but hopefully soon!

Cravings: Not any recently, though I could eat french fries and chocolate ice cream at any point in the day and be happy about it.

Queasy or sick: Feeling good!

Looking forward to: Early dismissal from school on Friday, and (hopefully) not having tons of planning to do this weekend!

Baby Crochet - Hats

I really haven't been into blogging lately (obviously, since my last post was on Halloween).  But I have done some cute crochet projects that I have been itching to share, I just haven't been able to because they were waiting to be given as gifts!

So without further ado, here are my latest little creations for our good friends here that are having a baby girl next month:

 This hat is made from this pattern.  The flower is made from this video.

 These two hats were made from this pattern.  The hat on the left is a deep purple, the color is really distorted in the picture.

 This hat is made from

 This hat is my own creation.  I love making owl hats, they are my favorite.

This hat is also my own creation, I think the hearts are from this pattern, if it's not the exact pattern it's close.

The rose for this hat comes from this pattern.

Next on my list of projects are a baby sweater, I just have to find a good pattern.  I also want to make another baby blanket.  My crochet skills have gotten so much better since the last time I made one in simple rows of single crochet and I have found some really cute patterns I want to test out.

And a cute picture of Scout to finish this post off.
